Chemicals – Coverage Report March 2021

Specialty Chemicals Continue to See Strong Growth Potential

Capstone’s  March 2021 Chemicals Industry Update highlights how chemicals have played a critical role throughout the pandemic providing inputs for disinfection and sanitation, protective equipment, and medical supplies and equipment. However, pandemic-induced manufacturing slowdowns and demand shocks have challenged chemical producers in 2020. While specialty chemicals saw depressed demand across nearly all end markets in Q2 and Q3 2020, Capstone expects end market recovery to fuel demand throughout 2021, driving merger and acquisition (M&A) activity.

Included in the Report:

• Key factors that provide a positive outlook for the Chemicals industry in 2021
• The impact that shifting consumer dietary preferences has had on the Food & Beverage industry and beyond
• Why recent M&A volume is providing optimism for a healthy deal environment
